Clarence Henderson is a civil rights icon who is most-known for standing up to oppression by sitting at a North Carolina lunch counter in 1960.
Well, now Henderson, who is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, is being attacked by the black community, but is refusing to back down.
Henderson has been very vocal in his support for Trump saying “Donald Trump is certainly not a politician, and politicians are a dime a dozen, but leaders are priceless.”
As a result, Henderson has been viciously attacked on Twitter:
Clarence Henderson ,a trump supporter,is no civil rights hero of mine.He joins David Duke. His brain was damaged at the lunch counter.

Despite the vicious attacks, Henderson refuses to drop his support for Trump, calling the Republican nominee “a leader in the business field. Has he done everything right? No, certainly not.But I think he has more at stake than Hillary does.” Henderson argues that he plans to vote for Trump for the same reason he sat at the famous lunch counter in the 60s: “I would rather be in the minority on the side of justice than in the majority on the side of injustice, because I have lived a life where I saw there was injustice.”
During a rally for Trump in September, Henderson further elaborated his support for the GOP nominee:
I stand before you as one that knows what America’s all about – the good, the bad and the ugly. I would not live in any other country except America that put Jim Crow on trial and found him guilty of trying to separate the races. So I stand before you to say that we are unified.
